The popular ski hut south of Ashford that burned to the ground recently was not insured, according to a board member of the Mount Tahoma Trails Association.

Judy Scavone said the MTTA could not get the hut insured because it’s “just too far from the nearest fire hydrant.”

The fire that destroyed the hut likely took place late last month and is being investigated by the Department of Natural Resources, which owns the land the hut was built on.



Snow Bowl Hut was built by volunteers in 1991 at a cost of $20,000.
